Steamvaults run called on account of soup

Twice this weekend Tatia was called on to DPS in a dungeon run. Yes, you read it right. Tatia the holy pally donned her +spell set and went to town with her big (not yet enchanted ) two-hander in a DPS role. I cranked out about a whopping 277 DPS.

I found that the hardest part was holding off on DPS long enough to not steal aggro from the tank. I suppose all DPSers find themselves in that position.. but I’m totally green at filling the DPS role.

Eventually I figured out that throwing on Judgment of the Crusader at the beginning of the fight actually allows me to hold off my dps long enough and then adds a bit of DPS near the end. Um.. yeah?

Our last run for the weekend (where I was DPSing) was abruptly called when the tank spilled soup on her keyboard. Who drinks soup at the computer? (Tank reports: tanks who are sick with a cold. To which I reply: Bah! Soups and computers don’t go together.)

As the soup-spilling tank, I wish to speak out in my defense. I wasn’t -drinking- soup, but eating soup. I’ve had the drinkable soup and looked for it at the store, but the wider bowl-like heat-n-serve were on sale (and the drinkable ones weren’t). The childhood memories of Campbell’s Chicken Noodle soup are way better than the modern reality. I ate my soup while we were getting a description of the Maiden fight, right before our first attempt on her — but the soup wasn’t very good, and so, once the fight started, I didn’t go back and finish my soup. Thus, later on, I had about a third of a container of soup sitting on my desk… which I fumbled onto my keyboard shortly into our Steamvaults run.

Fortunately, my keyboard is “spill resistant” or somesuch and seems to have survived pretty well. :p
